Music with VOCALS?

You guys have some weak taste in programming music. Only the hardest electronic for me. Stuff that makes you feel like adrenaline is being injected into your brain with a firehose, yet predictable and non-distracting. Who else listens to that?

Are you talking about Vitalic, by any chance?
Yeah, I'm another one for Zero 7, or any downtempo electronica while hacking.
Another nod for Zero 7.
Zero 7. Definitely something I would listen to while programming.
To add to the list, some of personal favs that get me through coding sessions:

Orb

Narko Masutra

Kompakt (5,6) - german techno compilation - Germans know their elektronika ;)

Richie Hawtin // Plastikman

Kraftwerk

Squarepusher

Cool, another one for Morcheeba here. Been listening to The Antidote as of late (not their most popular I know).
